TECHNICAL DIAGNOSIS
  • Diffuse risk

    It complicates reading and reaction.

  • Reproduction in the background

    ZEA raises swine sensitivity.

  • Danger by omission

    It is detected late at the plant.

Mycotoxins in Animal Production

Denying them doesn't remove them

They can be present without becoming evident, but their impact does show up in health, performance and profitability.

SILENT
PRESENCE

Not always visible, but still circulating.

BIOLOGICAL
IMPACT

It compromises health, immunity and efficiency.

ECONOMIC
RISK

The loss shows up in variability and profitability.

CONTAMINATION FLOW

  1. Contaminated grain
  2. Raw material
  3. Compound feed
  4. Animal
  5. Impact on production
